Abstract:
Objective To explore the application value of RMNES combined with comprehensive rehabilitation for consciousness impairment caused by senile brain injury.Methods A retrospec-tive analysis was conducted on 160 elderly patients with consciousness disorders caused by brain injury admitted in our hospital between January 2020 and November 2023.According to treatment regiments,they were divided into comprehensive rehabilitation group(Group Ⅰ,53 cases),com-prehensive rehabilitation followed by RMNES group(Group Ⅱ,54 patients),and simultaneous indoor comprehensive rehabilitation and RMNES(Group Ⅲ,53 patients).At 1 week after treat-ment,electroencephalogram(EEG)grade,brainstem auditory induction(BAEP)grade,cerebral hemodynamic parameters[including relative cerebral blood flow(rCBF),relative cerebral blood volume(rCBV),and mean blood flow velocity(Vm)],Disability Rating Scale(DRS)score,and Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score were compared among the three groups.Results After 1 week of treatment,the ratios of EEG grade Ⅰ,EEG grade Ⅱ and BAEP grade Ⅰ,rCBV,rCBF and Vm values and GCS score were increased,while the ratios of EEG grade V and BAEP grade Ⅲ,and DRS score were decreased when compared with the levels before treatment(P＜0.05).Significant differences were observed in EEG grade and BAEP grade among the 3 groups after 1 week of treatment(P＜0.01);Group Ⅲ had obviously higher rCBV,rCBF,Vm and GCS score and lower DRS score than Groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ(P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse reactions in Groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ(3.77％vs 7.41％vs 7.55％,x2=0.830,P=0.660).Conclusion Simultaneous indoor comprehensive rehabilitation and RMNES treatment achieves more significant efficacy for elderly patients with brain injury-caused consciousness disorders,and it can improve electrophysiological activities of brain nerves,enhance cerebral hemodynamics,and promote the recovery of consciousness.
